News and articles from around the web

LLVM is taking part in Google Summer of
Code as a mentoring
organisation. Students can earn a $5500 stipend by working on open source
projects over the summer, and applications upon today (March 16th). See
here
for the list of mentoring organisations advertising LLVM-related projects.
Please do help spread the word. I am biased, but I'd like to draw particular
attention to the wide variety of lowRISC GSoC
ideas, including a project to
implement an LLVM pass using tagged memory to provide protection against
control-flow hijacking.

Version 0.11 of Pocl, the portable open-source OpenCL implementation has been
released.
Additions in this release include initial Android support and MIPS
architecture support.

Version 1.11 of TCE, the TTA-based (Transport Triggered Architecture)
Co-design Environment, which uses LLVM has been
released.
This release adds support for LLVM 3.6.
